jixaw Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ok...I am quite flustered here...I have a manual...but I dont know for sure where to find the oil drain plug on this 88 FZ600... I have found a plug on either side of the engine...it takes an allen-type wrench....some oil came out....but....maybe just a cup....there must be more in there....I can see some of it grinning at me thru that window....I am also worried that the crazy canuck who owned it before may have run it with low oil..... any help...pics...descriptions would be great thanks fellows Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 8, 2005 Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2005 The drain plug should be under the center of the motor directly behind the oil filter housing in the lower front of the crankcase......if memory serves me correctly, it should be a 19mm Hex-head bolt.

madandy Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 As you sit on the bike it is underneath the left hand side of the engine ,I dont know if mines been tinkered with but its a normal bolt stylie with a crosshead screw through it .Its here so that you can drop the oil whilst on the stand and the drain plug is at the lowest point(just a note mine sthe 87 model should be the same but !!!!) Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
